Details

The Milwaukee 2429-20 M12 Sub-Compact Band Saw is the most compact and lightest cordless band saw on the market. At less than half the weight and size compared to a traditional deep cut band saw, the M12 Band Saw provides one-handed power and portability to electricians, maintenance professionals, and other users cutting small diameter materials. The M12 Band Saw weighs only 6.75 lb. and 12 in. in length, making it ideal for overhead or one-handed cutting applications.

Built deep strut racks for weeks cutting strut & 3/8 size rod for 5000' of 4" EMT I installed. Works great on anything that fits in the opening & even if it doesn't. Example: I have used it to cut 2" EMT going all the way around the pipe. This thing is awesome. Professional grade. M12 series is better than most 18 volt tools on the market in my opinion. Lighter & more reliable. Even more powerful than some. Helper bought a 12volt Bosch impact & broke it in 30 minutes doing the work we do. My m12 has been going strong for about a year now. As for my helper John he returned the Bosch and now has the new m12 fuel impact which is better than mine now. Yes I'm jealous & will be getting one soon. Another story with my m18 drill I finished drilling a 4" hole with a hole saw that a makita 18v. over heated doing. Thought he burned it up but thermo sensor saved it after it cooled for an hour. After I finished his first one he couldn't do I drilled 3 more after that one. My helper John is a believer now. Don't waste your money on other cordless tools if you want professional grade.

Ive wanted a cordless bandsaw for a long time now but always thought the 18volt ones were to large for 1 hand use. This bandsaw is perfect. Im a electrician and i can make cuts all day long on 3/4 emt on a single charge. Im currently on day 4 on a single charge with casual use. Ive only had this bandsaw for about a week now and all three guys on my crew are ordering 1. I love the m12 lineup and this is definitely there best tool yet. That is until they cone out with a m12 rotary hammer drill.

I use this band saw everyday for 100% of my EMT cutting 1/2"-1 1/2" and Uni-Strut that I previously used my Sawall for. The blades last for 100s of cuts and are easy to replace and inexpensive. One handed cuts overhead are so easy it will change the way you run pipe saving you time and the company money.

As a commercial electrician this is a dream tool. I read both good and bad reviews but pulled the trigger on it anyways. But I went ahead a day bought the new 6.0 battery with it. This compact band saw is amazing. Battery last long, cuts Unistrut great. Used it a week before charging it. That's running 3/4 emt in and electric room. By far my favorite tool. Smaller than a football. Thanks!

I almost use this bandsaw everyday since i got it, I even took out my 18V bandsaw from the work truck. Cuts Uni-strut, 1/2, and 3/4 inch conduit with ease, I would recommend this bandsaw to someone in the field.

I am a commercial electrician and this is my new favorite tool. It cuts conduit and strut awesome. It makes quick, clean, and safe cuts. great run time on one charge, all day(w/XC 3.0). Light weight, and easy to use, blade has lasted 5 working days so far with medium useage still cuttin good. Love all M12 tools and as of now I could not live with out my new band saw, threw hack saw away.

I've been an Electrician for 36 years, and this is by far the greatest time saving tool in my arsenal! Whether it's cutting conduit or unistrut, this tool will cut through evenly every time in a third of the time it normally takes!

I'm an electrician, so having a portable band saw is fantastic. It may not cut the large pipe but it does have tons of uses in the field. Its great not having to move an extension cord and large band saw around all the time.

Still my favorite tool as professional Electrician this band saw is great for cutting EMT conduit will cut 1 5/8" strut at a pinch. Like it so much I bought another one & the larger version for strut & larger conduits.battery life is good

Tool performs in tight areas and great for overhead work.buy the extended battery it has lasted me an eight hour shift and some cutting 1/2" allthread and unistrut.it is definitely not as fast as the 18v but home much can you really expect from a 12v bandsaw?

Like the title of my review, this one will probably stay on my favorite power tool list for a while. I do allot of work on ladders and this band saw is so light you can cut with one hand while you hold the material or the ladder for stability. Once you figure how to hold the saw against the material the right way it almost cuts too fast. You can really control it while saving time and working safer.

Absolute must have for all electricians. If u have to cut a lot of conduit, threaded rod, flex, or anything else metal under 1.5 inches(the throat is designed for strut) this is your new best friend. It's super light weight, easy to use, and small enough to just toss back in your bag and move on. This is my second one, and the first one is still going strong, I love these saws. I really can't think of any issues I've had with them.

I use the product to help with my electrical jobs. Cuts anything I put against it in seconds with a nice clean cut. Only wish is that this gem could cut a little wider than 1-1/2" items. I used it to cut heavy gauge wire and thick strut.Fits in my large tool bag and it light to in your hand. I am a picky tool guy and I would buy this again if I lost it.

Although I haven't actually used it to cut anything, this saw appears like it should be very handy. It looks like it might open up enough to cut unistrut and at least 1-1/4" conduit, maybe 1-1/2". I'll have a better idea of its capabilities when I actually start remodeling my new (to me) garage.

I got this bandsaw for occasional use, but it looks like it could be used for professional work. I have a number of M12 tools so buying this as a bare tool was a good deal. It is refurbished, but that just means I saved a lot of money; saw looks and sounds good. It isn't going to be cutting big hunks of metal, but will be fine for conduit, pipe, and smaller steel items.

i bought this compact bandsaw refurbished from cpo. The ad said garunteed factory checked for quality and performance. whoever reassembled the bandsaw blade lock lever on the wrond side. you could not lock the blade. you couldnt have tested it to cut anything. also the person rounded off the screw or i would have considered fixing it. severely dissapointed but i do plan to buy one new.

My friend at work has one of these that uses the small m12 batteries which is what I have not the flat square ones that I see in the pics do you sell the one that uses those batteries. 48-11-2401 16wh Li-ion 3INR18/65 thanksFrank BernardiFrank67@gsinet.net
